Zeebe Helm Profiles
If you are looking to start evaluating Zeebe in your own Kubernetes Cluster or if you are already doing so with our Helm Charts you should take a look at the following GitHub repository which contains a set of configurations (profiles) based on different use cases. Zeebe Helm Profiles are just configurations for the official Zeebe Helm Charts. The idea behind these profiles is to configure Zeebe and surrounding components for different use cases. A common requirement is to evaluate Zeebe into Minikube or Kubernetes KIND, or in a Cloud Provider. For each of these scenarios, you will need to configure the charts in slightly different ways. If you want to run Zeebe on your own laptop, one of the…

RPA and Enabling End-to-end Process Automation
The Case for End-to-end Process Automation Processes are the algorithms that determine how an organization runs. Successful businesses grow from proven, effective processes. At Camunda, we have made it our mission to enable organizations to design, automate and improve these processes — no matter where they are and what they entail. Our ambition is to “automate any process, anywhere”. Automation is not new, it is basically the core value of any software product. And if there was one single software product that could successfully run the entire operations of a company, there might not even be a need for Camunda. In fact, SAP tried to become that product in the 1990s. But although there are thousands of companies running SAP,…

Kickstarting digital transformation
How do you change peoples’ minds and kickstart digital projects, when businesses or teams are resistant to change? Helsana is more than 100 years old and manages around 110million CHF insurance claims and payments each month. However, the company’s legacy, paper-based processes needed to evolve. Dr. Eric Euerlings, Helsana’s senior integration domain architect, said many of his colleagues had bad experiences with monolithic, centralized process engines in the past. Process owners and technologists were united in wanting to avoid the long hours of additional work, brittle code and expensive consultancy fees that plagued past process automation projects and, above all, they didn’t want another monolith. Changing peoples’ minds about modern, lightweight and flexible process automation wasn’t easy. So instead of…

The Ethical Algorithm
Many recent mainstream media articles and popular books have raised alarms over anti-social algorithmic behavior, especially regarding machine learning and artificial intelligence. At CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, we’re excited to introduce Dr. Micheal Kearns, professor in the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss anti-social algorithms. In his CamundaCon LIVE keynote, Dr Kearns will address concerns including leaks of sensitive personal data by predictive models, algorithmic discrimination as a side-effect of machine learning, and inscrutable decisions made by complex models. He’ll explain the explosion of recent research in areas such as differential privacy, algorithmic fairness and algorithmic game theory, forging a new science of socially aware algorithm design and attempt to place them in a broader…

Three hidden threats of RPA technical debt you might have overlooked
If you’re looking to selectively automate the work of individual components in legacy systems, and help automate processes without a significant time investment — RPA should be on your radar. Global companies like Deutsche Telekom have already introduced and automated 2,500 individual bots, resulting in savings of more than 100 million Euros. However, relying too heavily on RPA can land you in hot water. Paul Jones, Business Automation Services at NatWest even classifies RPA as technical debt. So what can you do to avoid this debt? Prevention is the best cure and before jumping on the RPA bandwagon, think carefully about whether you need an RPA solution, or a workflow engine. Losing control of long-running processes The ability to automate…
